Let me begin with an apology -- I have a desperate need to find something out about Mark Twain but I have not followed the list's suggestion of first going to the library as it's not accessible today and I can't wait until Friday. And I have clicked through every recommended website with no success. My query is this: There was a popular female humorist who was friends with Clemens -- I believe she lived for a time in Colorado Springs, as her former home was converted into a restaurant. I am looking for the name of this woman. Many thanks in advance for your patience and assistance. Carla Blazek
